Nigeria’s former Minister of State for
Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro on Monday morning touched down in
Nigeria from the United States, enroute London Heathrow, SIGNAL can
authoritatively report.

Obanikoro returned to the country today
to respond to some of the allegations leveled against him by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The former Nigerian
High Commissioner to Ghana had initially stayed away from Nigeria because no formal invitation was extended to him by the anti-graft Commission.

Following
the receipt of a formal invitation, Obanikoro’s lawyers promised the
Commission he would honour it, more so as that he has nothing to hide.

More
importantly was an email sent to him by the US Democratic candidate,
Hillary Clinton’s campaign group, following the boasting by the
Republican Candidate, Donald Trump that he would jail her if he became
president.

In the
letter to Obanikoro, a supporter of the Democratic party, Clinton,
wrote: “Muhammed, last night, Donald Trump said that if he were elected
president, he’d target Hillary and said she would be in jail if he were
in charge.

“Threatening to jail political opponents isn’t what we do in America, Muhammed. Those are the words of totalitarianism.”

Moved by the
words of Clinton and her team, the former Senator and one-time Minister
of State for Foreign Affairs decided to return to the country to clear
the mess once and for all.

Obanikoro would be led to the
Commission by his two lawyers, Mr. Lawal Pedro and Mr. James Onoja,
both Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN).
